In the colonization of North America, Great Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden each sought a share. By the eighteenth century, only Great Britain and France remained as rivals for the heart of the continent. Three times, beginning in 1690, warfare arose between New France and New England. Settlements were destroyed, and armies clashed, yet nothing was settled. Each country regarded the Ohio Valley as its own. A small skirmish in 1754 touched off a war that spread to Europe, then to Africa, Asia, and even to islands in the Atlantic and Pacific. The fate of North America hung in the balance. This conflict, the Great War for the Empire, may well be called the first of the world wars. Here, award-winning historian Francis Russell brings to life the vast panorama that formed the background for this struggle in which the English redcoats fought side by side with American colonists against French soldiers and their Indian allies.

"The French and Indian War was just one part of a global conflict between France and Great Britain and their allies. However, for U.S. citizens, it marked the beginning of the revolutionary era. As one of the causes of the American Revolution, the French and Indian War is a staple of social studies curriculums. In this volume, its complexities are pared down to the most important facts to give struggling readers a better chance to understand them"--

Constant warfare between the French and the British spilled over into the New World as the countries in conflict fought for control of this prosperous territory. Drawn into this fight were the Native American tribes trying to protect their own diminishing claims to the land. Read the writings from those whose lives were affected by the seven years of war that drove the French out of the colonies and eventually led to an alliance that helped the colonies gain their independence.
